SANTA CLARA, CA – ScaleFlux, Inc., the pioneer in deploying Computational Storage at scale, unveiled today its Computational Storage Drive (CSD) 2000 Series family of products at Flash Memory Summit 2019 (FMS), the industry’s premier annual conference. The breakthrough CSD 2000 Series platform follows the successful deployment of its preceding CSS 1000 Series to bring top-tier compute and storage performance to cloudscale and enterprise markets worldwide.

Computational Storage is at the forefront of increasing industry interest at FMS, commanding a dedicated day of focused panels and technical sessions. Over a dozen companies will present on the technology that looks poised to become the key building block for modern data center infrastructure as massive zettabyte-scale data growth collides with demand for real time analytical processing. ScaleFlux is a founding member of the standards committee SNIA Computational Storage TWG and will be on deck to moderate discussion as well as present on its own technology breakthroughs.

Thad Omura, EVP of Marketing and Operations for ScaleFlux, will deliver a keynote presentation titled “Data-Driven Applications Gravitate to Computational Storage” on Wednesday, Aug 7 @ 1:30pm in the main hall of Flash Memory Summit. This anticipated talk will set the stage for the present development of Computational Storage as well as deliver the bulk of detail on the CSD 2000 Series, which promises huge across-the-board application performance benefit from functions such as transparent inline compression/decompression.

ScaleFlux carries much momentum from the noteworthy adoption of its CSS 1000 Series, which has shipped thousands of units worldwide. The product family is uniquely capable of feature upgrades through unobtrusive in-place updates due to its FPGA approach and has continually improved its lifetime value. CSS 1000 Series is built upon state-of-the-art TLC NAND from multiple vendors and is supported by several tier-1 OEMs, including Dell EMC.

NEW CSD 2000 SERIES FAMILY OF PRODUCTS LAUNCHED

ScaleFlux has released its highly anticipated Computational Storage Drive 2000 Series family of products to complement its existing offerings. The new platform is highlighted by:

  • Leading performance for OLTP databases & mixed read/write workloads
  • Transparent inline Compression/Decompression
  • Lowest cost per effective GB, compared to similar user capacity NVMe SSDs

More highlights and implementation details will be unveiled at the ScaleFlux FMS Keynote on August 7th at 1:30pm.

“We are excited to lead Computational Storage to mainstream enterprise adoption,” said Thad Omura. “Two years ago we coined the term, last year we made our industry debut, and now we are at the front of a very large crowd. Our newest CSD 2000 Series products will deliver immense value to new and existing customers alike and cement the reputation of Computational Storage with superior performance and optimal total cost of ownership.”
